Driving into London isn’t as easy as it used to be. Between traffic, parking, and now emissions rules, there’s a lot more to think about. If your van doesn’t meet the latest standards, just crossing into the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) could cost you £12.50 a day. Do that a few times a week, and it quickly adds up.
That’s why we’ve made it simple. At Hire2You, every van and car we hire out already meets ULEZ standards. No extra charges. No last-minute panic. Just pick up the keys and get on with your day, whether you’re working, moving house, or heading into town.
So, What’s ULEZ All About?
ULEZ is a clean air zone set up by Transport for London. It started in the centre, but now covers most of the city, pretty much everything inside the North and South Circular, and in some areas, beyond that.
It’s active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a weekday or a Sunday morning. If your vehicle doesn’t meet the emissions rules (Euro 6 for diesel, Euro 4 for petrol), you’ll be charged £12.50 for each day you drive in the zone. That’s on top of other fees like parking or the Congestion Charge.
Why It Matters When You’re Hiring a Van
When you’re renting a van, most people think about size, mileage, or cost — and that makes sense. But if you’re heading anywhere near London, whether for work or something personal, you’ve got to consider emissions too.
Some hire companies still rent out older vans that don’t meet ULEZ rules. If you hire one of those and drive into the zone, you’re the one left picking up the tab.
At Hire2You, you won’t need to worry about any of that. We’ve made sure every vehicle in our fleet is ULEZ compliant. No hunting for the fine print. No guessing. Just hire and go.

You’ll be good to go with a van that won’t land you with extra charges.

A few trips into London in a non-compliant van could cost you hundreds of pounds a month. That’s money better spent elsewhere.
